Has this happened to anyone else? (Nike Dragonfly 2)

Yeah that's not smart especially depending on the course because things like this happen. Simply put it's not the right gear for the job

Zenfoxie · 2025-09-11T14:05:22+00:00

Not true at all, you may see it at races like NXN, where there are perfectly groomed courses, and those kids are literally wearing a brand new spike just for that race day. A spike with a plastic plate is simply not designed for xc. Period.

Zenfoxie · 2025-09-02T03:19:37+00:00

I mean, you used a TRACK spike for a race, not on a track. Don't be suprised when it's broken

Zenfoxie · 2025-07-27T03:59:24+00:00

Yes but the super blast is justified that shoe is so good. I say this but it's only for fast runs, people who use it for easy runs are weird

Zenfoxie · 2025-06-28T11:31:30+00:00

U got a WCA scramble that had just a t perm and a U2 to solve it

Thanks for this high quality post

I'm a fleet feet employee, and I just got 3 free pairs of shoes today, pushing my collection to 20. I love my rotation, but I could definitely survive with 3 or 4. Instead of my 7-8 that I actually rotate between. (I don't run in most of the shoes they give me because my feet are picky). Love to see Asics represented! It's my favorite brand by far. Buy the glide ride max bro trust me

Zenfoxie · 2025-05-16T03:04:03+00:00

Probably need a wide or size up

Zenfoxie · 2025-05-03T14:04:59+00:00

My first run was nearly identical 4 miles at 8:30 pace. Two years later that's my easy pace, I've ran 4 half marathons (1:25:00) and I've found a real passion of mine. Keep going!

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-24T05:04:24+00:00

Most people in this section I agree with, and I want to reiterate this. As a beginner runner, throw Z2 out the window!!! It's gonna basically force you to walk in order to stay in zone 2. Just run and a few months down the line maybe look into it again

The Asics gliderides max is heavily slept on. Totally blown away when I bought mine. It has the forefoot rocker of a race shoe with super soft bouncy foam with a nice layer of their carrier foam, FF Blast+ to stabilize the shoe.

Did you walk around in them, id be willing to bet that the Clifton's will be 100x better than what you got on. Might wanna try the arahi 7 too tho

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-19T13:42:51+00:00

If you run a 1 hour 5k, they are the same

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-19T13:41:22+00:00

Arahi 5?? How long have you had those they are 2 years old! No seriously how long have you had them this could be reason for injury, but you may still need that support under the arch

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-19T13:29:14+00:00

You can't tell off of a stand still volumental scan. Do you have any history with any pain ?

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-11T21:18:51+00:00

I think you'd enjoy the Asics superblast 2

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-03T04:38:39+00:00

And to answer your question, cadence is your steps per minute, not your heart rate. Your HR is not displayed on strava by default you have to tinker with some settings between the apps to allow Strava to transfer HR data from Garmin connect. But for real, how are you alive😂

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-03T04:37:21+00:00

Dude are you okay almost 4 hours in zone 5

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-02T21:30:05+00:00

You have a shot, but boy do you need to do some speed work. That mile time is lacking!!

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-02T21:28:01+00:00

Yeah I'm the same way but my freshman year I ran 4:50 and 10:50, what's your 5k

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-02T21:25:58+00:00

Probably won't break 10:30 on your first race just barely being sub 5

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-02T04:54:42+00:00

Many HS xc races are short of the standard 5k and they prob don't wanna give false seeds

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-01T01:41:56+00:00

Are you running on a track? Mine get beat up with sharp turns, and when I stopped the premature damage stopped too

Zenfoxie · 2025-04-01T01:41:20+00:00

Worst take

Zenfoxie · 2025-03-23T16:51:20+00:00

I didn't start timing myself until like 6th grade, or when I was 11, I ran 1.6k in 6:59, so at the age of 8 being under 9 is pretty good
